<br />-} <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />enlarged permanent pool that the interested parties might agree <br />to as mitigation for anticipated impacts reSUlting from water <br />supply operations at the facility and to help cover a portion <br />of the evaporation replacement needs at Cherry Creek Reservoir. <br /> <br />The averaoe annual exchange potential with Cherry Creek <br />Reservoir was taken from a draft report prepare by the Water <br />Conservation Board staff in 1986. The exchange potential is <br />defined as the ability to supply senior appropriators on the <br />South Platte River mainstem with water in storage at Bear Creek <br />Lake at times when those senior appropriators would be calling <br />water past Cherry Creek Reservoir. The exchange, thereby, <br />would allow Cherry Creek Reservoir to retain at least a portion <br />of those waters that otherwise would have had to pass through <br />Cherry Creek dam and reservoir to downstream users. It must be <br />understood that the exchange potential could vary significantly <br />from year to year depending on the stream conditions, and the <br />amount and locations of exchange water available. <br /> <br />All other data on Cherry Creek Reservoir is taken directly <br />from, "An Evaluation of the Cherry Creek Basin Water Resources <br />and Water Rights," prepared by the office of the State <br />Engineer, Division of Water Resources in June, 1988. <br /> <br />The carryover storage requirement at Bear Creek Lake will <br />be determined as part of the Operations study and will be based <br />on the best estimate possible of the average annual needs <br />determined at ~hat time. <br />
